959 Rear Shock Linkage

  1. Thanks @Spence, nasty one that! I knew the front mounting bolt had been upgraded a while ago, is there anyway of knowing if this has been done on my bike through Ducati or is it just safer to replace with a hi tensile bolt every now and then?

    Thanks
     
  2. I'd be tempted to swap mine for Ti-Bolts also if they are better strength wise? @Spence sorry to hear about the hand, did you replace them with Titanium bolts or are you not allowed with Tri-Options rules?

  3. Rebuilt it with some new High T bolts. I’d recommend swapping them put periodically.
     
  4. I’d just change them so you are sure. Mine was front mount bolt that snapped. Most of us now use the spider mount and bolt.
     
  5. Fitted a titanium through bolt with locknut and also thought it wise to add the Spider support as per @Spence’s recommendation. Job jobbed!
    If anyone runs into the same problem, Ben Sutterby at Codex motorsport supplied the Ti bolt and nut and has a few more in stock.
